...Western Reserve University (TIME, July 2, 1956), the Stanford curriculum has been completely rebuilt to "humanize" the doctor by spreading his studies over five years instead of four, teaching him more about the patient as a whole and less about medical specialties, at least at the start. Med-school freshmen will begin with wide-ranging courses that relate basic medical disciplines. And as the students advance toward their doctorates, the proliferation of specialized courses will be cut down, allowing them to spend about one-fourth of their time in the sciences, humanities and other fields allied to their major study...
